I'm very sorry to read this news. A few years ago, I saw one of Don's threads about his inexpensive hard bags. I noticed that he had a spare set... so I sent him a pm asking if he wanted to sell them. He offered them to me for the cost of shipping. I asked how he wanted paid. He replied back, "Not set up for paypal so I could pay by check, one dollar bills, or a bag of quarters." I asked lots of questions and he patiently answered each one. He was quite interested in making sure that I was happy with them even offering to take them back if I didn't like them. Since he didn't originally even have them up for sale, I added extra money to the check for his troubles... and encouraged him to have a steak or something on me. He replied back with kind words of appreciation. My impression after 5-6 personal message exchanges was that he was a very genuine individual. My sympathies go out to those that knew him well.
